So I followed these instructions: http://expressionengine.com/knowledge_base/article/how_do_i_move_ee_to_another_server/

I am able to get to the login page, connect to the db and everything seems fine except I can’t login. I keep getting: You are not authorized to perform this action

I only have one user, the original admin user I created at install so I should have all of the privileges needed to login. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

okay so I just changed my “Require IP Address and User Agent for Login?” to No and tried logging in and I did not get an error this time but I still can’t get past the login screen. It looks as though it created a user session correctly though. still stumped.

Wesley,

Try adding this to your config.php temporarily:

$conf['cookie_domain'] = ".example.com";
$conf['cookie_path'] = "";
$conf['cookie_prefix'] = "";
$conf['admin_session_type'] = "c";
$conf['require_ip_for_login'] = "n";
$conf['secure_forms'] = "n";

John,

Thanks for the reply. Not 5 minutes ago I figured out the issue. It was some apache config differences between my local host and the production host. I figured it out.

thanks for the help,
Wes
